No Baking Please.... is a workshop designed for chocolate dessert lovers who doesn’t own an oven, whisk or an apron. There aren’t any serious baking skills required in this class, however a strong will to resist licking whisk or spoons is probably an advantage.
The 3 recipes- Rich chocolate mousse, Dark chocolate cups and caramel crunch are very simple, fast to make and most importantly ‘fail-proof’. These delightful treats are low in sugar but still pack a strong chocolaty kick as 70% dark chocolate is one of the key ingredient. The caramel crunch is a simple 2 ingredients recipe which gives any cake/dessert a classy designer look.
I had a bunch of bubbly gals in this workshop. My dear sister, Meiru and her best pals were some of the participants. Meiru is somewhat clueless about baking as my mum can only ‘tolerate’ one serious baker in her tiny kitchen. I finally had a chance to bake with little sister! It’s really enjoyable to bake with people you love.
I must say i was pretty surprised when Meiru and her pals were attentive and serious in the kitchen (i had expected lots of ‘giggling’ and blur blunders). Eventhough there were some active spoon lickers in the class, they did a great job and the desserts turned out looking real fine.
We even extra time to enjoy the rich chocolate mousse with a pot of camomile tea while waiting for the chocolate crunch cups to set in the fridge. I felt a sense of achievement after seeing the gals leave with more confidence on baking. My duty of nurturing budding bakers is definitely a success in this workshop!
Ps: It’s probably not ‘ethical’ for any teacher chef to comment on their student’s aprons, but I just can’t help it this time...

The “Most Daring Apron Award” goes to Ms Jiang Meiru. The “Most Original Apron Award” goes to Miss Tan (name deliberately changed to protect identity) for wearing her maid’s unwashed apron.
